Regular Expressions

Hello,

Is there a new way to get the following snippet of code to match an open 
parenthesis "("?

Array[i].match("\\("))

After upgrading to IDI 6.1.1 on AIX, this piece of code no longer matches a 
"(" and the flow falls into the wrong section of code in an Override
Lookup 
hook.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

More later...

Hi Zareh,

I test this code:

    s = "this is a test of matching( with param )";
    task.logmsg(s.match("matching\\(")[0]);

in both 6.0 and 6.1.1 and got the same results:

09:15:55  matching(

Perhaps you could clip in a larger section of the code
in question so I could see the context of your match.
Or you could take this straight to our L2 support gurus.

Hi Eddie,

Thanks for responding.

Here is some more code...

There is an attribute called PARRS which could have values like the 
following:

"TK0Z(1-9),UPARRBK1"

The piece of code needs to expand this into a bunch of RACF groups and add 
them to the kpRacfGroup attribute as separate values.  In this case, the 
values should look like:

NCAL<BREAK>PARRS<BREAK>TK0Z1
NCAL<BREAK>PARRS<BREAK>TK0Z2
NCAL<BREAK>PARRS<BREAK>TK0Z3
NCAL<BREAK>PARRS<BREAK>TK0Z4
NCAL<BREAK>PARRS<BREAK>TK0Z5
NCAL<BREAK>PARRS<BREAK>TK0Z6
NCAL<BREAK>PARRS<BREAK>TK0Z7
NCAL<BREAK>PARRS<BREAK>TK0Z8
NCAL<BREAK>PARRS<BREAK>TK0Z9
NCAL<BREAK>PARRS<BREAK>UPARRBK1

The piece of code that's failing, is supposed to match the open and close 
parentheses and then expand the "1-9" into "1,2,3,...,9".

Here are the relevant parts.

parrs = work.getString("PARRS");
parrsArray = parrs.split(",");

expandGroupSpec("NCAL","PARRS",parrsArray);

function expandGroupSpec(system,application,groupSpecArray) {
 var groupList = new Array();

 for (i = 0; i < groupSpecArray.length; ++i) {

  if ((groupSpecArray[i].match("\\(")) &&
(groupSpecArray[i].match("\\)"))) 
{

   // Split name into begin, middle, end
   var components = groupSpecArray[i].split("(\\(|\\))");

   // Find the counter
   if (components[0].match("[0-9]-[0-9]")) {  // Either in the begin
    groupList = 
enumerateGroups(components[0],components[1],components[2],components[0]);
   } else if (components[1].match("[0-9]-[0-9]")) { // In the middle
    groupList = 
enumerateGroups(components[0],components[1],components[2],components[1]);
   } else if (components[2].match("[0-9]-[0-9]")) { // In the end
    groupList = 
enumerateGroups(components[0],components[1],components[2],components[2]);
   }

   // Add enumerated groups into entry
   for (z=0; z<groupList.length; z++) {
    // Construct the actual value that will be written to the entry
    // system<BREAK>application<BREAK>group
    var newValue = system + "<BREAK>" + application +
"<BREAK>" + 
groupList[z];
    work.addAttributeValue("kpRacfGroup", newValue);
   }
  } else {
   // Construct the actual value that will be written to the entry
   // system<BREAK>application<BREAK>group
   var newValue = system + "<BREAK>" + application +
"<BREAK>" + 
groupSpecArray[i];
   work.addAttributeValue("kpRacfGroup", newValue);
  }
 }
}

I will approach support with this too.  So the regex issues have been fixed?

Thanks for your help.

More later...
